Description

Introduction

Network as a Service (NaaS) provides dynamic, on-demand networking capabilities, but like any complex system, issues can arise that impact performance, availability, and service reliability. Effective troubleshooting and incident management are critical to maintaining seamless operations, minimizing downtime, and ensuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met.

This training focuses on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required to diagnose, resolve, and manage incidents in NaaS environments. The course covers root cause analysis, monitoring, automated remediation, escalation procedures, and best practices for incident management. Participants will also learn how to integrate troubleshooting processes with orchestration and automation frameworks for proactive network management.

Prerequisites

• Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, routing, switching, LAN/WAN)

• Familiarity with NaaS, SDN, and network virtualization

• Understanding of cloud computing concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)

• Knowledge of monitoring and analytics tools for network performance

• Awareness of SLA and QoS concepts
